I agree with jared...to me it sounds like he is teased and one of the names they call him is Saint Joe, like hes a mommas boy. Sad song, but really good.

i believe that this song is about kids bullying other kids. the band refers to him as 'st' joe, a saint being perfect, so he may be real smart, never in trouble etc. they tease him about his dad being gay and his mom a whore, even though this insn't true. good guitar riff

True, and what's that about "dressed up / made up like a woman" ? Perhaps you can't know the meaning without knowing more about the youth and family of the singer. And why does he mention his mother in so many songs (out of context)

haha. i remember this being the first song i ever heard with naughty language in it. actually probably second after alanis morrisette's "you oughtta know". when i was little i remember going on holidays and my parents playing albums like this one, nirvana unplugged and leonard cohens greatest hits in the car. sorry got a bit carried away there. the good old days. anyway yeah this definitly sounds like a kid being teased - the title tells you that anyway. but im trying to figure out the religious references. joseph and mary are obviously biblical names and were pretty important people - haha but im not sure because mary wasnt josephs aunt.
